Monsters use this roll or the result of their morale check, whichever is higherAs a side rule: (Since your moral rule seems to blend well with the intimidate rules...)When a player makes an intimidate check to force a foe to surrender, the monster to make a morale check against the players intimidate result rather than using the normal rules. This check is subject to the above modifiers and influence by leaders. If the foe fails the check, they must either run, surrender, parlay or offer a bribe.</blockquote>
